Ripple is looking to solve the problem of shaping, maintaining, and scaling its marketing web ecosystem by building dynamic, performant, and globally scalable experiences that elevate the brand and empower internal teams.
Requirements
- Deep expertise in modern JavaScript and React (Next.js 13+ preferred, ideally App Router + Server Components).
- Hands-on experience with headless CMSs, especially Sanity (schema design, GROQ queries, content APIs, custom inputs, etc.).
- Strong understanding of performance optimization, SSR/SSG, and edge deployment strategies (Vercel, Cloudflare, etc.).
- Familiarity with TailwindCSS, TypeScript, Node.js, and REST/GraphQL APIs.
- Proven experience building scalable, component-driven design systems and integrating them with CMS-driven architectures.
- Experience with Vercel edge functions, Sanity Studio customization, or live preview integrations.
- Understanding of web security, SEO, accessibility (WCAG), and web performance metrics.
Responsibilities
- Own and evolve the architecture of Ripple’s marketing web platform — leveraging Next.js (App Router), Sanity, and Vercel to deliver fast, dynamic, and flexible experiences.
- Lead full-stack feature development from concept to deployment — collaborating closely with Design, Marketing, and external development partners.
- Design and implement scalable CMS schemas and APIs in Sanity to support modular, flexible content creation and page building.
- Develop reusable, performant front-end components in React/TypeScript, aligned with Ripple’s brand and design systems.
- Continuously improve site performance, accessibility, and technical SEO using modern best practices and data-driven insights (Lighthouse, Web Vitals, etc.).
- Streamline the development workflow — optimize CI/CD pipelines, preview environments, and local builds using Vercel and related tooling.
- Define and enforce coding standards, documentation, and architecture guidelines to ensure long-term maintainability and consistency.
Other
- 8+ years of professional web development experience, including full-stack or front-end leadership roles.
- A passion for bridging design and engineering — you value aesthetics, UX, and content as much as code quality.
- Experience working with cross-functional creative teams, translating abstract marketing or design goals into reliable, production-ready implementations.
- Excellent communicator and collaborator; able to lead discussions across disciplines and advocate for technical best practices.
- Strategic problem solver who’s comfortable owning complex systems end-to-end — from DevOps to browser debugging.
